I always find it amusing to see all the house-references when it comes to Hugh Laurie when I can’t seem to think about him as anyone but the dimwitted Prince Regent or the equally dimwitted (yet good-hearted and to women somehow enormously attractive) Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. The former of BlackAdder (or as Prince George the Prince Regent calls him: Bladders) III and the latter of Jeeves and Wooster. Also, whenever I hear/say his name I can’t seem to stop myself from thinking Huge Lorry… my point being that I don’t seem to be able to take him seriously… at all…

Early stories in the 20s, later in the 30s. (when PG Wodehouse wrote the books).

I love Hugh Laurie in Black Adder, though I prefer Black Adder II myself; Miranda Richardson as Queen Elizabeth is the best!

For you Hugh Laurie/Black Adder fans, you should check out Jeeves and Wooster. It stars Hugh Laurie as a dim-witted young playboy and Stephen Frye as his cynical butler whose always bailing him out of getting married off by his rich aunt. It’s another period sitcom, taking place in the 1930′s (maybe 20′s?). Hilarious!!!

They don’t make sitcoms like Blackadder anymore. Now they are all modern day settings where boring characters do boring things and expect you to find it interesting. Most of the newer comedies these days aren’t worth watching.

Because one expects charm and wit in a book about an orphaned mouse who happens to be able to talk. Did we mention he was adopted by some random family in random New York (Is this right? I haven’t watched it since I was 10 some years.) in some random tiny house? Oh yeah, he also makes friends with a bird who happens to talk and a cat who can talk as well, but not to the people. NEVER THE PEOPLE!

Except for the occasions where it’s better than some of the boring “It’s not lupus” episodes in the middle of the series.

None. Hence why people do it on the Internet. Just chill out, everyone is allowed to be an ‘unoriginal moron’ once in their lives.

Thank you. My sole purpose in checking the comments was to see if anyone noted that this was NOT Regency Era. Beau Brummel is rolling in his grave.

THANK YOU!!!!! I tried to watch that movie with my little niece and ended up leaving the room before I did something drastic to the DVD player. The book is so amazing and charming, and the movie has nothing to do with it! Well, almost nothing–there is, in fact, a mouse named Stuart Little in both the book and the movie. And that’s about it.

Blackadder the Third made me laugh my backside off. My best friend can tell you I nearly drowned because I chose the wrong moment to take a drink of water. *Serious* sporfling warning here!

Ok Heather, exactly what other situation do you feel it’s acceptable to stand up and shout “I’m an unoriginal moron” in?

Booooo. I prefer Blackadder II

Hugh! I love him equally in every single one of his roles (with the exception of Stuart Little, because that movie was a disgrace to the amazing book). House, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, Jeeves & Wooster… I can’t get enough of the man. He exposed me to British comedy.

Word. Black Adder Goes Forth is (IMHO) by far the funniest of the Black Adder series.

The first movie I ever saw him in was Stuart Little, and being the rabid House fan that I am, I can’t watch that movie without putting in some of the “House-isms” randomly in there. ^^

I recently caught part of a movie called Stuart Little? It was about a mouse and didn’t even reconize the man! I love him no matter what he does-he is just too sexy to not love…..

BlackAdder is epic Win! So is Jeeves and Wooster and Fry and Laurie and his many other things that I have known him from.

My friend and I first learned of House as we walked by a grocery check out and saw the cover of TV Guide: “hugh Laurie: Americans Sexist Man”

We were like WTF???????????????

Since then I have subverted many a House fan by exposing them to his previous career.

I think he is Equally good at all roles– and applaud him his range. But House gets a bit old– same plot over and over. But I really enjoyed the few episodes I watched for the acting.

I think Hugh Laurie, whilst a great actor, should always be English and should always be funny. He’s just too good at it; may I direct your attention the roaring incident.
